Strange, beautiful, and quietly powerful, "Just Short of Reality" is a poetic series of stories that blend surrealism, silent cinema, and dance to explore the nature of choice, connection, and personal transformation.
This film captures the lives of seven people living in the same neighborhood whose stories overlap over the course of 24 hours. Told across six dreamlike chapters, each section follows a resident through a personal crossroad, where they're forced to confront their inner fears, hidden desires, and the weight of their own thoughts.
This is a compelling reminder that our inner lives have the power shape the world around us. With bold visuals and expressive choreography, this piece shows how a simple shift in perspective can open the door to change.
